Cognitive-Behavior Therapy for Analytic Therapists

CBT has become the dominant psychotherapeutic model within the U.S. Because it was developed in reaction to psychoanalysis, the two are often placed in stark opposition. In this course we explore how each of these approaches can enhance the other. The course provides a brief overview of core concepts from both traditional and contemporary mindfulness-based CBT approaches. A variety of CBT treatment methods including the classic techniques of cognitive restructuring and exposure, and newer techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) will be taught. Students will learn approaches to working with panic disorder and obsessional/ruminative problems, as well as how the techniques used can be employed to treat a variety of problems. Throughout the course we will think about how CBT approaches both converge with and diverge from psychoanalytic approaches, the rationale for choosing CBT techniques within an analytic treatment, and how to develop a fluid approach to incorporating both modalities in one treatment.

Classes will include didactic presentation of theory and techniques and discussion of case material drawn from the practices of the instructor and students. Active learning will be facilitated by demonstrations of techniques and opportunities for in-class practice. Readings will include texts by leading CBT practitioners, analytic practitioners who integrate CBT, and some psychoanalytic texts that provide a theoretical framework for integrating CBT into psychoanalytic work.

This course can be taken as a stand-alone course, or as a required part of NIP’s Certificate Program in Psychotherapy Integration. The course will be taught at NIP in eight seminar-style classes, each lasting one hour and fifty minutes. Class meetings are held on Mondays, January 7, 14, 28, February 4, 11, 24, March 4, 11, 2019, from 1:00 to 2:50 pm. Students will be charged $600.

Developing a Treatment Group for Survivors of Sexual Abuse

Thursday, January 10, 20197:00pm - 9:00pm

Presented by:Sarah St. Onge, PhD

Developing a Treatment Group for Survivors of Sexual Abuse: Critical Considerations in the Age of #metoo

The National Institute for the Psychotherapies250 West 57th Street, Suite 501New York, NY 10107

Most trauma therapists recognize three stages of treatment for survivors of sexual abuse: 1) Establishing safety and stabilization, 2) Exploring and healing traumatic experiences through memory, affect, bodily sensations, and cognitions, and 3) Reconnecting with others. Because interpersonal trauma disrupts attachment and social relatedness, and creates a sense of isolation, the final stage is a critical component of treatment. This presentation describes the development of a therapy group in a private practice to foster a relational context for healing, at the same time that #metoo testimonies were beginning to emerge. The Trauma Recovery Group model, which emphasizes personal empowerment, provided each person with an opportunity to share her trauma and bring a personal trauma-related goal into fruition through the exquisite support of the group.

Learning Objectives:

Be able to name the three stages of trauma treatment

Learn how to develop a therapy group within one's private practice

Describe the process of running a Trauma Recovery Group for survivors of sexual abuse
